Mob drop VS DoL gathering rate

[Hachiko]

Seems like a pretty big design oversight. The problem is exactly the same for Blacksmithing through Steel, and Weaving through Krakul Fleece

The problem is that the devs probably think like Betelgeuzah. That is, they don't think.

Theoretically because anyone can farm the mats with a DoW class, they should be more abundant when compared to DoL mats. The problem is that there are far more things to farm as DoW classes, and things like Peistes, Bombs, Brutal Sheep etc don't get farmed because they aren't an efficient thing to level on, or because there just aren't large populations of them.

Then, to further exasperate the problem is the inventory woes. Not everyone killing the mob knows that Fleece, or Boar hides, etc, are difficult to come by, which leads to the situation where people don't put them up on the Markets unless they're going out there to farm them for profit, which drives prices WAYYY up.

SE should have the goal that roughly all the same level mats sell for roughly the same price.

SE should have the goal that roughly all the same level mats sell for roughly the same price.

Then they would have to ensure that the supply and demand for everything is always roughly the same, which is impossible.

Then they would have to ensure that the supply and demand for everything is always roughly the same, which is impossible.

That's the goal though. unless a mat is SUPPOSED to be much more rare for some reason (e.g. gems, something not required en masse) other than making it a pain to level, the supply and demand should be roughly the same.

For DoL mats, Flax, Iron, Cobalt, etc. it's close to uniform. For kill mats, bomb ash, Fleece, Diremite Webs, Aldgoat skins and up, the prices are roughly 10-20x what the DoL mats are.

And SE controls both the supply (by changing monster drop rates) and demand (by adjusting how much of a mat drops).

By making it so that the drops you need to go from level 35-45 as a LTW are a 15% drop from level 45-50 mobs uniformly, there is a problem.
